The US Embassy in Dhaka has issued a fresh warning to foreign nationals planning to travel to the United States, stating that misuse of taxpayer-funded public benefits or becoming dependent on such assistance could result in US visa cancellation and future visa ineligibility.
The warning was published on Saturday through the embassy's verified Facebook page.
According to the embassy, foreign visitors who improperly use or become reliant on public assistance programmes funded by US taxpayers may face strict legal consequences under US immigration rules.
The advisory applies to all categories of non-immigrant visas, including tourist, business, student, journalist and transit visas.
The embassy warned that violations could lead to visa revocation and may also make individuals ineligible to obtain US visas in the future.
Travellers urged to be financially self-sufficient
The US Embassy also urged prospective travellers to ensure they have sufficient financial resources to cover their expenses during their stay in the United States without relying on public assistance.
The advisory comes as US authorities continue to emphasise compliance with immigration and visa regulations for foreign visitors.
